after 15 minutes he decided to take them off and the interpreter stopped talking. in early december prosecutors went to the judge with information about a witness that could be impeachable. prosecutors want the information kept secret. the defense wants it made public. and there have been four hearings as i've mentioned. the judges told prosecutors they will have until early april and all transcripts will remain under seal. he has said this has to do with quote security issues. levy was murdered in 2001. her disappearance made international news when it was revealed she was having an affair with a married congressman. he has never been charged in the case and not a suspect. he is serving a 60 year sentence. during this hearing today us reporters sitting in the

50 today. how about that with all the sunshine, temperatures in some places a little warmer. we have fair skies tonight. you see a little snow up to the north and west. that's a little clipper passing by. a clipper passing by to the north of us as opposed to a clipper coming by to bring us snow. several of the little snows from clippers this season. that one won't get us. we'll have a few clouds overnight tonight. it looks like tomorrow the clouds are going to come back. it's going to stay comfortable with the temperatures for tomorrow as well. 48 here in town now. fredericksburg 51. frederick is 46. and western suburbs around dulles, temperature is holding in the upper 40s. real nice at 7:00. temperatures not much cooler than where they are now. a few clouds at 9:00 and 11:00. these are city temperatures. going to be a little colder than that. by 10 or 11:00 tonight, the temperatures out in the

suburbs will already be down into the 30s. i suspect overnight tonight even though it's not going to be too cold in town, down around freezing, maybe a little colder out there in the suburbs. all the snow is melted. sun angle is getting higher in the sky. i want to say this, we've made a couple changes for the weekend forecast. that includes maybe a little bit of rain snow on saturday. a little coastal system. may want to run up the coast and bring us a little bit. we'll talk more about that in the full forecast. i don't think it will be the entire weekend. but going to be a pretty winter like weekend. >> see you in a few, gary. >> he's talking about that and wants a little love. i don't know. it's a hard sell. it was all over twitter and facebook. remember that melt down on the green line? what a disaster. metro explains what ultimately left thousands of passengers stranded. >> questions still remain. there is reason for

red skin's fans to feel hopeful about their quarterback. he may be ready for week one. that story is next as the news at 5:00 continues. 

sf is is the questions we were all asking after rgiii hurt his knee. how bad is it? does he need surgery? will he ever be the same player and when will he be back? today the redskins have more clarity. lindsay joins us now with answer september to all of these questions. >> they do have clarity. it was bad, he did have surgery but still so many questions. questions for the next couple months. that's just the way it is. questions will remain until griffin is able to participate with the team again. whether that's during mini camps or in july when training camp starts. underwent major surgery to repair a torn acl.

griffin has said all along he will be ready for next season but now reason to believe the optimism. he has a long way to go in his recovery and will not rush him back. there are reports today that based on what they've seen so far, it is possible griffin will be the team's starting quarterback. griffin won the offensive rookie of the year award after setting a record by a rookie quarterback and leading to first nfc title in 13 years. bruce allen said today the redskins continue to be optimistic. will be ready to start the season. he says doctors ultimately will make the final decision. if he doesn't meet the deadline, i don't think he wants to push himself too hard that he feels like he's failing. it's up to robert, up to the doctors but at this point feel good about it. >> the fans want him to get healthy and come back when he's ready. thanks. >> staying on sports, today was

the ground breaking of the new red skin's training center. the $10 million facility is part of a development deal between a city and health system which allows for the lease of that site. when players aren't there the facility will be open to youth and families. the new center is expect had had to bring $40 million worth of investment to richmond as well as hundreds of jobs. good for richmond. >> coming up tonight, monitoring metro. we're learning what caused a melt down on the green line and how passengers may have contributed to all the confusion. >> american airlines and u.s. airways are joining forces. an aviation expert joins us to tell us what this megamerge her could mean for you. >> one of the richest men in the world is getting into the ketchup business. details when we come back. lucky charms?!

♪ yer always after me lucky charms! whoa. i forgot how good these taste! [ lucky ] ♪ they're magically delicious ♪ the one and only, cheerios

it started with a miscommunication and led to a melt down that created chaos on

the green line last month. part of an investigation by metro into what happened out there. thousands of passengers became stranded on trains between the navy yard and an tec ostia. >> the first failure was because of a miscommunication. but the entire situation got worse when a passenger on one of the trains deep in the tunnel decided to lead people out against orders. two green line trains stuck in rush hour with about 1,000 passengers each after the power suddenly cut off. january 30th incident created panic and confusion. people uncertain how long they'd be stranded. >> the customers were alarmed. some were frightened. all inconvenienced and very uncomfortable. >> a lapse in protocol led to miscommunication between officers that led the initial power shut down.

>> we would not have been there if the protocols had been followed. >> the transit agency said the train operator failed to make adequate announcements some passengers on the second train began self evacuating too. nigel told fox 5 he led riders in to the tunnel and out. >> really wasn't thinking about danger. thinking about trying to get in a better situation than we were in. my big thing was how long are we going to be down there? >> metro says the train operator told the man to stay on the train but he refused leading to a more dangerous life threatening situation. some confused passengers thought they were being led by a metro employee, not a passenger. board chairman believes metro needs to do everything it can to

make sure people know the deadly consequences. >> they are risking their life existing a train without any direction or supervision or protection. >> the incident started with an arching insulate or on the track. the passengers in the tunnel caused the delay to stretch more than two hours. >> one of the few good things that came out of this is no one was injured and no one lost their life. >> metro says no one has disciplined for the lapses. plans to improve training and drills for situations just like this. most concerning to a lot of the board members was that self evacuation. why people would exit a metro train. but you don't see people doing it from an airplane stuck on the tarmac.

>> bottom line is stay put. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> american airlines and u.s. airways are merging to create the world's largest airline. once the $11 billion deal is finalized, the airline will be called american airlines. offer more than 6700 daily flights to more than 300 destinations in 56 countries. >> the over 900 routes when we fly them individually, only 12 of them where we have overlaps. this is about taking two airlines and putting them together and providing better service. and also i would note it creates a nice third competitor. so our view is it increases competition, it doesn't decrease competition. >> the company will likely continue operating for the next few years. thanks so much for being here. >> my pleasure. thank you for having me. >> more flights. more destinations. seems

like good news for consumers. what's your take when you heard about this? >> i think as we've seen in the past, nothing goes as smoothly as you hoped it does. we hope they've learned from the experiences and mistakes in the past. i believe in the long run this will be a great benefit. >> i know a lot of people right now are tweeting if this will mean lower airfares for them. based on your history with the airline, do you think it could mean that? >> well, i think that might be a little short sided. here you have two carriers. one of them in bankruptcy. it's a turbulent time. has been for the airlines. i think what you'll find is that had this not gone through, the potential for one or both in the long run, perhaps even in the short run that one or both may not have been here had to have gone out of business. i think the fact

they've merged, they'll become stronger. in the long run will have more opportunity and more choices available to the traveling public. >> as we've seen with other mergers, employees often lose their jobs due to the overlap of positions. what are you hearing? is there a concern that could happen? >> i'm sorry, i couldn't hear that question. >> in past in other mergers we've seen employees for the airlines lose their jobs because of an overlap of positions, what are you hearing? what's the talk? is there a concern or fear for both airlines they could be out of a job because of this? >> certainly, that's a legitimate concern. and i am sadly have the same fears. i would believe that in some ways there will be overlap and opportunities for as many employees just won't exist. there will be perhaps down the road as the companies expand,

greater opportunities but in the short-term, may be loss of jobs. >> thanks so much for coming in tonight. >> thank you. >> still ahead, one of dc's most popular landmarks is opening up another location. where they plan to set up shop next. >> hopefully my neighborhood. a fredericksburg couple comes forward to claim the second largest jackpot in virginia history. lucky dogs. >> we have very big numbers on gold. try this. a grand total of 4405 tons were sold in 2012. the gold business was worth well over $2 trillion last year. now break it down. governments bought 500 tons. individuals bought the other 3900 tons. that sounds like a lot of gold coins for the grand kids and it is. for the volume of sales was

the lowest in three years. when the price was going up we bought. but when prices leveled off we bought less. maybe that's why gold has been stuck recently. by the way, who buys the most gold? the people of india. we'll see you tomorrow on the fox business network.

progressssive clai. this is flo. i need you. i feel so alone. but you're not alone. i knew you'd come. like i could stay away. you know i can't do this without you. you'll never have to. you're always there for me. shh! i'll get you a rental car. i could also use an umbrella. fall in love with progressive's claims service.

moving ahead with plans to open a second location. the owners of the landmark hope to have the new restaurant at 10th and h street in northeast up and running to the end of this year. the original owner passed away in 2009. his sons and daughters in law now run the company. >> billionaire investor warren buffett is getting into the ketchup business. partnering with 3 g capital to buy hines for $23 billion. it is the largest deal ever in the food

industry. shareholders will receive $72.50 in cash for each share they own. and that is a 20% premium. the company will remain headquartered in pittsburgh. the deal is a potential boom for the new u.s. secretary of state. his wife teresa is the widow of john hines. he has shares worth more than a million dollars. >> a couple comes forward to claim $217 million in power ball jackpot. find out where they bought that winning ticket and cannot wait to quit their jobs. >> talk about a vacation. >> we will show you how this student won jeopardy's teen tournament in style. >> and we could see warmer temperatures tomorrow. gary is back with your forecast.

>> weather's been nice today. especially everybody celebrating valentine's day. >> this was the gift for my honey. >> if mother nature is your honey. >> you were showing me no love so i don't want you to suck up to me. here's what's going on with your forecast. 48 degrees right now is the current temperature. at 4:00 it was 49. sue and i put that out on facebook. immediately we got 1,000 likes. i guess now everybody liked today with all the sunshine and the nice comfortable temperatures. official high for national was 50 degrees for a high. listen, we're going to be warmer for tomorrow at least for most of us but we're not going to be nicer. the clouds will start coming back tomorrow. we'll stay dry at least most of the day. temperatures still very pleasant out there. i think it's nice at 7:00. a few clouds at 9:00. a few clouds at 11:00. these are city temperatures . out in the

suburbs already down in the 30s. a little cool. the wind is not going to be a problem. really not a bad february evening all things considered. we've got clear skies here. sunny skies all day long. and up to the north of us you can see the snow. that's going to stay up there. that's a clipper moving through. this clipper stays to the north. we don't have to worry about that. and we have nothing but fair skies pretty much all night long. we're going to start to see clouds increasing by early tomorrow morning and then through the day tomorrow it looks like we're going to have clouds start moving on in. don't expect much sunshine by tomorrow by any means. this is future cast tomorrow morning. we start off with some sunshine. we'll have some clouds mixing in as well. as we progressed through the day, more clouds will come on across. more clouds will thicken up. 3, 4, 5:00, most of us will be cloudy. we're still dry though. future cast is showing just a little bit.

there's a chance, a slight chance of some showers tomorrow evening. it does not look like a great chance. earlier this week we talked about a potential for a coastal storm. the models have wiped it off the map. well, it started coming back a little bit earlier today. and this is where the models are departing radically on what may be happening friday night and into saturday. we take you on future cast and show you. this is on saturday. you can see snow real close to i 95. right now future cast is keeping this all to the east of us. and i might add that future cast has done a great job with the last little snow events we've had coming through. there's no reason to believe this isn't going to happen. but looking collectively at all our model guidance. some of it is still suggesting a pretty good likelihood we'll have rain and snow too throughout the area on saturday.

we have to keep that in the forecast. but opt miss stickily future cast is keeping most of that east of i 95. only a few clouds tonight. around 32 in the suburbs. 37 in town. not that bad for a february overnight. cool start with some sunshine. mostly clouds at noon. clouds for just about everybody by 4:00 p.m. we stay dry tomorrow and just about completely dry tomorrow evening. however, there will be a slight chance for showers. more showers coming in friday night. there will be a few snow showers as well. and then as we get into saturday, we're going to keep rain and snow in the forecast. but, again, that can change. it's a little moving target right now. one thing is for sure, sunday looks cold. sunday looks blustery. 37 for a high but feel like it's in the 20s all day long. all that being said, enjoy middle 50s for highs tomorrow. >> thank you, gary. >> the talk of the town on tmz, the man who once inspired

millions of people now charged with murder. executive producer harvey levin is live. we reported earlier in the broadcast on the investigation. what's the latest from your angle? >> well, we're hearing a couple things. number one, he had an incident in 2009. not with reeva steenkamp, the murder victim but with another woman and it was some domestic violence incident. and he was basically in jail for 24 hours. the woman withdrew the complaint and nothing happened after that. the other thing we've heard is we talked to people who were close to reeva steenkamp. and they were around oscar and her. and they said there was never any evidence that anything was going on. and as a matter of fact, he seemed very sweet. and she had never led on. her family was stunned by this. if

something had been going on with them she gave no indication of that. >> i saw this on the web site. didn't one of your tmz photographers encounter pistor pistorius? >> we did. got him in october. he was talking about training for the next olympics. look, i mean, he was a hear ee and gone from being a hero in the summer to a murder suspect in february. it is stunning. >> all right. more to come on this one. harvey levin on tv tonight at 6:30. >> a jeopardy contestant has gone viral. he didn't know the answer but didn't matter. >> he's looking pretty happy. why? did he come up with ike? >> no, i didn't. >> you did indeed. come on over
